Abstract This paper presents a novel approximating method to construct highprecision single-patch representation of B-spline surface from a multi-patch representation for isogeometric applications. In isogeometric analysis, multi-patch structure is not easy to achieve high continuity between neighboring patches which will reduce the advantage of isogeometric analysis in a sense. The proposed method can achieve high continuity at surface stitching region with low geometric error, and this technique exploits constructing the approximate surface with several control points are from original surfaces, which guarantees the local feature of the surface can be well-preserved with high precision.

Abstract Geometric fitting based on discrete points to establish curve structures is an important problem in numerical modeling. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the geometric fitting method for curved beam structure from points, and to get high-quality parametric model for isogeometric analysis. A Timoshenko beam element is established for an initially curved spacial beam with arbitrary curvature. The approximation and interpolation methods to get parametric models of curves from given points are examined, and three strategies of parameterization, meaning the equally spaced method, the chord length method and the centripetal method are considered.… More >

Abstract The paper applied the isogeometric boundary element method (IGABEM) to thermoelastic problems. The Non-Uniform Rational B-splines (NURBS) used to construct geometric models are employed to discretize the boundary integral formulation of the governing equation. Due to the existence of thermal stress, the domain integral term appears in the boundary integral equation. We resolve this problem by incorporating radial integration method into IGABEM which converts the domain integral to the boundary integral. In this way, IGABEM can maintain its advantages in dimensionality reduction and more importantly, seamless integration of CAD and numerical analysis based on boundary More >

Abstract With the acceleration of the construction of quantum communication networks, scholars have proposed different quantum communication protocols for different application scenarios. However, few scholars pay attention to the risk assessment process before communication. In this paper, we propose a novel quantum risk assessment model based on quantum teleportation technology with two three-qubit GHZ states. Only by using Bell states measurements (BSMs) and two-qubit projective measurements (PJMs), the communicators can recovery any arbitrary two-qubit state. This protocol can transmit two-dimension risk assessment factors with better security performance. On the one hand, more sufficient evaluation factors allow… More >

Abstract In drilling a deepwater well, the mud density window is narrow, which needs a precise pressure control to drill the well to its designed depth. Therefore, an accurate characterization of annular flow between the drilling riser and drilling string is critical in well control and drilling safety. Many other factors influencing the change of drilling pressure that should be but have not been studied suffi- ciently. We used numerical method to simulate the process of drill string rotation and vibration in the riser to show that the rotation and transverse vibration of drill string can More >

Abstract The out-of-plane fold is a common defect of composite materials during the manufacturing process and will greatly affect the compressive strength as well as the service life. Making it of great importance to investigate the influence of out-of-plane defects to the compressive strength of laminate plates of composite materials, and to understand the patterns of defect evolution. Therefore, the strip method is applied in this article to create out-of-plane defects with different aspect ratios in laminated plates of composite materials, and a compressive performance test is conducted to quantify the influence of out-of-plane defects.

Abstract In this study, a new state-based peridynamic formulation is developed for functionally graded Euler-Bernoulli beams. The equation of motion is developed by using Lagrange’s equation and Taylor series. Both axial and transverse displacements are taken into account as degrees of freedom. Four different boundary conditions are considered including pinned support-roller support, pinned support-pinned support, clamped-clamped and clamped-free. Peridynamic results are compared against finite element analysis results for transverse and axial deformations and a very good agreement is observed for all different types of boundary conditions.

Abstract Computational modeling methods have been increasingly employed to quantify aortic hemodynamic parameters that are challenging to in vivo measurements but important for the diagnosis/treatment of aortic disease. Although the presence of turbulence-like behaviors of blood flow in normal or diseased aorta has long been confirmed, the majority of existing computational model studies adopted the laminar flow assumption (LFA) in the treatment of sub-grid flow variables. So far, it remains unclear whether LFA would significantly compromise the reliability of hemodynamic simulation. In the present study, we addressed the issue in the context of a specific aortopathy,… More >

Abstract A numerical method for American options pricing on assets under the Heston stochastic volatility model is developed. A preliminary transformation is applied to remove the mixed derivative term avoiding known numerical drawbacks and reducing computational costs. Free boundary is treated by the penalty method. Transformed nonlinear partial differential equation is solved numerically by using the method of lines. For full discretization the exponential time differencing method is used. Numerical analysis establishes the stability and positivity of the proposed method. The numerical convergence behaviour and effectiveness are investigated in extensive numerical experiments. More >

Abstract The essential features of the nonlinear stochastic models are positivity, dynamical consistency and boundedness. These features have a significant role in different fields of computational biology and many more. The aim of our paper, to achieve the comparison analysis of the stochastic susceptible, infected recovered epidemic model. The stochastic modelling is a realistic way to study the dynamics of compartmental modelling as compared to deterministic modelling. The effect of reproduction number has also observed in the stochastic susceptible, infected recovered epidemic model. For comparison analysis, we developed some explicit stochastic techniques, but they are the More >
